look nothing has really changed, just the paper numbers
so now

multiple choice is paper 1
structured questions is paper  2
analysis and critical evaluation is paper 3

also, for paper 3 (analysis and critical evaluation), you write on the SAME PAPER, not on lined paper.

thats all!! you can download the specimen paper to know what im talking about here :

Guys i think this year there is no CORE for economics . Last year there was papers 1 to 6 but this year its only 3 meaning the core papers are now also the extended. my teacher said there is no core for this year . so i think its going to be easier.. wat do u think??

Listen, its simple!
Paper3 became Paper1( Multiple choice)
Paper4 became Paper2( Structured questions)
Paper6 became Paper6( The analysis and critical evaluation)
There is no core anymore in Economics!

Yeah they did.

There is no core anymore, it's just one now.

Paper 3, 4, 6 used to be for extended.
Others were core.

paper 3 (MCQ's) is now paper 1
there are gonna be 30 questions instead of 40.

paper 4 (structured questions) is now paper 2.
paper 6 (analysis and evaluation) is now paper 3.

so you need to practice the old ones, i.e, paper 3/paper 4/paper 6.

Hope that helped, lol.
